Discuss the June 2017 Book of the Month, Superhighway by Alex Fayman. Superhighway is the first book in the Superhighway Trilogy, so feel free to use this forum to discuss not only the first book but also the other books in the series.

I was not sure if I was going to like this book or not, the concept of being able to travel through the internet on the inside was something I found to be pretty fascinating. Plus being able to do what Alex was able to do while in there was pretty amazing. Even though Alex is only 18, I got the feeling that he was actually older than he is. I really enjoyed the book and I look forward to reading the second book!

I did not expect to like this story but I ended up loving it. I read it solely because it is BOTM. I give it a 4 out of 4 stars. The concept works in a weird sort of way. Almost like a time travel story but it all stays in the present. The characters are for the most part well developed. I expect to see more development in the second book. I was drawn into Alex's character. I would have liked to have known a bit more about the orphanage. It'll be interesting to see where this story goes next. I've been wanting to start it but didn't want to know what happens next until I participated in these forums.

Life without a good book is something the CatInTheHat cannot imagine.

Grateful to get the opportunity to explore new books with those in the OBC.

I have enjoyed the story so far, but unfortunately I had to put it down. I have short breaks in which I get the chance to catch up on reading, and unfortunately I really got slammed with work (and homework) around the time I started reading it.

I intentionally didn't read any reviews before I read the book. It's funny to see the variation in what people thought about the book. I quite enjoyed it but see that others were not as interested as I was.

I was not impressed with this book. I was interested at first, when Alex's early adoption experiences were being described, but I had to force myself to finish it. The writing style wasn't bad, exactly, but it was a little awkward and stilted throughout the whole book, especially the dialogue. (I think I read somewhere that the author isn't a native English speaker, which would explain a lot. But still, dialogue is difficult, so it's something to work on.)

I also found all of the characters to be pretty flat and lacking in depth, including Alex. What made me upset, though, was the author's treatment of the women in the story. Alex was basically incapable of being in the same room with a woman without objectifying her in some way. That makes me dislike him as a character, but that doesn't necessarily make me dislike the book. HOWEVER, what DOES make me dislike the book is the fact that nothing even hints that there's anything wrong with sexually objectifying every woman in his life. Plus, none of these women felt like real people at all. It was just so clear to me that they were just there to be props or sex objects for Alex. I don't know, the whole book kind of felt like it was some sort of fantasy/wish-fulfillment for the author.

I feel a little bad for being so negative, but those things bothered me quite a bit. The story and the ideas behind it definitely had some promise, though.

Although it's a bad habit to not finish a book and rate it, some books may not have the ability to contain the readers' interest. That's just bad. But some people have a different opinion. Quite interesting!

I normally don't read sci-fi books, but this one sounds intriguing going by the reviews. I hope the other series in the trilogy will arouse as much interest. It's now on my reading shelf, and I hope it makes like reading sci-fi again (I read them in my childhood days).

Looking at the limitations and inabilities of man in various areas of life, man is most often tempted to imagine the extraordinary. Alex may have thought what good he could do for people, especially the weak if he had supernatural powers and unlimited abilities. As I read this book I also was imaging what I could have done for myself, lovely family and others if I had supernatural powers and unlimited abilities. Though I'm not really a fan of stories of people with special abilities and there some vulgar expressions and actions which I disliked, however, I love this story for it creativity and power of imagination. Kudos to Alex Fayman for this thrilling story.
